The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

Nobles are generally divided into two types.

one type is the kingdom aristocrats with territories.

one type is the honorary aristocrats without territory.

The former, as the name suggests, is the territory granted by the kingdom. It takes the territory as the base, occupies the land as the king, becomes the lord, and takes the development of the territory as its own duty.

This kind of nobleman has the right to form a private Knight Regiment, can own an army, and has extremely high rights. Basically all matters in the territory are under his control, unless he commits a serious crime or cannot be a territory for many years. Development brings contributions, then the territory will be reclaimed and demoted to the altar. Otherwise, in addition to the need to hand over 20% of the income in the territory to the kingdom every year, in the territory, the rights of this nobleman are the highest and the largest, even Royal Family has no right to intervene casually.

The latter will not get territory, but has the same rights as the former, not only can gradually private Knight Regiment and personal army, and receive offerings from the kingdom every year. Depending on the level of the title, receive Offerings are also different.

Some of them will serve in the kingdom and become the relevant person of authority in all aspects of the kingdom and other territories, while some choose to be free professions, travel everywhere, and even become the honorary aristocrat of Adventurer. less.

For example, the Razahad Family where Megais and Lely belong is honorary aristocrat, and the rank is Marquis, responsible for various matters of the Adventurer Guild. The family has managed the Adventurer Guild for generations, as is the Erbein Family where Alidiya is located. , The unit is Knight Regiment, which is also honorary aristocrat, and the knighthood is also Marquis.

Of course, the relationship between the nobles of the kingdom and the kingdom will be deeper.

After all, there are territorial connections, even if you don’t want to be involved, that’s unlikely.

honorary aristocrat has a higher degree of freedom, unless they choose to serve in the kingdom’s authority, otherwise, unless they do something that harms the kingdom, otherwise, no matter what they want to do, the kingdom will not Will be regulated.

There is no honorary aristocrat who serves in the authority of the kingdom, and it has only one obligation.

That is when the kingdom is in danger, you must make a move to help.

In view of this, for people like Skien, becoming an honorary aristocrat is undoubtedly a relatively high degree of freedom.

Lucy said that Skien can choose between becoming a territory aristocrat and an honorary aristocrat.

“Then I will be honorary aristocrat!”

Skien made this decision without hesitation.

So Lucy immediately promised Skien on behalf of the Royal Family.

“Since you decide to become a honorary aristocrat, the kingdom will not grant you territory, but you still have the right to form a Knight Regiment and a private army. Only the size of Knight Regiment and the size of the army will be knighted Influence.”

“For example, Baron of the lowest rank among the nobles, they only have the right to form a hundred-man Knight Regiment and a thousand-man army. The size of Knight Regiment and private army cannot exceed this limit.”

“Viscount can form thousands-man Knight Regiment and ten thousand-man army.”

“Count can form ten thousand-man Knight Regiment and hundreds thousand-man army.”

“Marquis can form hundreds of thousand-man Knight Regiment and million-man army.”

“Duke can form million-man Knight Regiment and ten million-man army.”

“This is a clearly stated regulation and cannot be violated.”

As long as it is within the scope of this regulation, the nobles can freely decide how they want to form Knight Regiment and a private army.

Skien wants to complain.

“The front also has no problem. Is it possible to have one million and ten million in the back?”

Take Knight Regiment alone, even Knights of the Kingdom There are less than 100,000 people, a Marquis, even if it has the right to form a Knight Regiment of 100,000 people, what about it?

Does he have a way to get to the head?

Not to mention Duke, the idea of ​​forming the million-man Knight Regiment and ten million-man army is not a joke, right?

Skien is slanderous.

Only, Skien also understands that this is just to set a limit, as long as it is used to restrict the small nobles with a large number and prevent them from having too many private soldiers, the big nobles will give them A good-looking right, as to whether Knight Regiment and the army can get this size, it depends on their ability.

but if it’s Skien …

“In view of your two achievements, the kingdom has decided to give you the title of Viscount directly.”

Lucy Said this to Skien.

“Viscount can form thousands-man Knight Regiment and ten thousand-man army, enjoying the offering of 10 ,000 gold coins per year, that means 10 ,000 gold coins can be collected from the kingdom each year As a offering, you can also get a house in the aristocrat district, but that house is chosen by the kingdom. If you are not satisfied, you can also choose to ask the kingdom for one thousand gold coins and go by yourself aristocrat district to make purchases.”

Skien only cares about the sacrifice of ten thousand gold coins and the ownership of a house.

Because this represents a meaning.

“I’m not only a ten-thousand-thousand family…No, it’s a ten-thousand-and-a-kind family, and he has a house directly?”

This is a poor man who wants to become rich Is the rhythm?

I don’t know what Skien is thinking, Lucy continues to explain.

“After becoming an honorary viscount, if you want to work in the Kingdom, you can apply directly to the Royal Palace. After the verification, the Kingdom will assign you a certain position.”

“The higher the title, the better the position. If you can become an honorary count, you will directly hold a high-power position, and you will be eligible to attend the Kingdom Parliament.”

“Of course, you probably won’t I want to hold a position.”

Lucy introduced to Skien the rights and even the privileges of being a nobleman.

This makes Skien suddenly feel that becoming a nobleman is not such a bad thing.

Even if he is not interested in what he holds, he still thinks that he can have some rights and privileges.

if this weren’t the case, why would so many people want to be nobles?

Especially…

“There are clear provisions in the kingdom, civilians are not allowed to take concubines, they can only have one wife, only merchants who have contributed to the kingdom can marry one more concubine.”

“The nobility has the right to polygamy, but it also depends on the rank.”

“Baron can have one wife and one concubine.”

“Viscount can have one wife and two concubines.”

“Count can have two wives and three concubines.”

“Marquis can have three wives and four concubines. “

“Duke can have four wives and five concubines.”

“Only Royal Family, no restrictions, how big the harem, then how many concubine can be taken, only concubine’s heir has no right to inherit the throne In the future, when Kings of the same generation are decided, their children will not be given the title of Duke. Only the children of the main family will have heirs to the throne. If they are not on the throne in the end, they will get the title of Duke, thus the number of the main house. Not too much, at most five.”

When Lucy said this, she was staring at Skien.

And Skien?

When he heard that Viscount could take one wife and two concubines, he already stoved up.

“My loyalty to the kingdom can be learned from the sun and the moon, and everyone can see it. Therefore, this nobleman, I deserve it!”

Skien’s earnest and serious words, let Lucy corner of the mouth twitch, wishing she could bite him twice.

Isn’t it pretty tough before?

You continue to be tough! bastard!
